原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

The centre is . The radius gradients at and are and , respectively. Therefore the tangent equations are
or and .
The first meets the -axis at , and the second meets the -axis at . Equating them gives , so and . Thus .
Triangle has base and height , and triangle has base and height . The exact area is
